The Big (duck) Contest – Summer 2017
DEADLINE – SUNDAY OCTOBER 15TH, 5PM.
To finish the summer and to help kickstart a new winter, we’ve decided to do something different.
There’s some big changes happening this winter and we want you to show us what that means for you. We’re looking for old photos and new. Show us how things have changed – on the mountain, with the weather, the change of season, in the bars, in your life! Anything that tells us a story.
To celebrate change – we have five+ amazing prizes!
The Duck has a problem – we got lost this summer and we need your help! Each month we run a photo contest. Well, we stacked up so many good photos we got lost in all of the amazing entries. Anyway, we thought we would do something different. We’re doing one giant contest!
How you can help (and win a prize too)?!
1) Vote for a photo.
Give some love (like or comment) to the photographers who took the time to send us some amazing photos. In return they will will win one of five amazing prizes. Please vote for at least three photos.
2) Help us find ourselves again!
We’ve been around 8 years!! Yes, we’re getting old. So, we’ve decided that maybe we’re not Lost anymore. If we’re not lost – then what shall we be called?
We’re going with “The Duck – Whistler’s Event Guide”. But maybe you have a better idea?! Maybe you like The Lost Duck. Maybe just the events guide?
So, make a comment. Shout at us. Send us a fancy logo or sexy picture of our new name! Whatever you like. We just need some entertainment while it’s raining. We’re too old for swimming in the cold.
What Prize can you (or the photographer) win?!

RULES
To ensure fairness and that people submitting great photos but with less ‘friends’ on Facebook. These are the rules:
- The winner from the photo contest is decided from a short list decided by us, combined with the number of votes (likes on Facebook)
- We do not tell people which three we chose. The images chosen are based on quality of picture (sharpness and composition), choice of subject and those that work well editorially.
- The photos printed in The Lost Duck (publication) are chosen based on space available and layout. These are not necessarily the ones we have short listed.
- We then post all of the photos online – this is so everyone can see the photos that have been sent in, and also for the public to show their love for the photographer and their work. This is where people vote for the photos.
- The votes (likes) from Facebook do not decide the winner alone, however they do help determine which of the three best photos we short listed wins.
- For votes to count, the person voting must choose at least two photos
- Additional prizes will be awarded to popular vote and 2nd place.
- We have no control over who votes on the three photos we choose. Our favourite photo therefore may not win this contest.
All photographs submitted to The Lost Duck Photo Contest, will be used by Yellow Duck Publications for marketing and in our social media posts. We will credit photographs and one winner will be chosen by either ourselves or through voting on our Facebook page or other social media outlets. Yellow Duck Publications reserves all rights.
